May I add other option to the Aitor ones?
I thought about letting the motes synchronize first, and then start sending
packets once they're all synchronized. How could you do this? I have tried
doing that with the telosb user button, hence once you pressed it you change
a flag that starts sending packets. The problem is that I have just been
able to do that with the TKN154_DEBUG enabled, otherwise, the event void
Notify.notify( button_state_t state ) is not working.
You can see an example of how to use the telosb user button in
$TOSROOT/apps/tests/telosb.
